I recently won an ebay auction that is going to complete a good many of my 7800 games. I'm so excited to receive the package, I know which boxes I'm getting but it looks like a lot of different instructions in there. I can't tell much of what's there so that will be like a bonus surprise. And, the price wasn't too bad considering a few of the boxes that's in there and I couldn't resist free shipping! Only about $1.50 per box and a bunch of free misc instructions. I need all of those boxes except three. Check it out:

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 150576770088

I'm going to get an updated picture up of my collection, especially after I get the package in the mail and make some room on my shelves...somehow. Thanks for checking out my upcoming upgrade.
:)

Well damn, nice score!

You can make ends back on just a couple of the boxes alone..

Does anyone know what the boxes that say "V61" are from? Isn't that Video 61 which was a repair place or something? :?

Wow, you can buy a lot of new games from them but quite expensive to build a 7800 collection that way. ebay has done me well with my 7800 carts and now some boxes too.

Thanks a lot for that link!

I got it and the boxes are really nice, very impressed. I got some cool instructions too. I forget if I have a before pic of my boxes but this completes a good many of my games because every box I have, I have the game and manual for too.

They even had the warranty cards in them which was nice too because I didn't have enough of those for the true completion. :)

Here's a pic of my new 7800 library. I have some carts in boxes still and some empty boxes but most carts are in bags underneath. I am going to get them all out of the boxes for less stress on them and then have the full collection of carts. Gettin' there!
